Introduction

The family, erected by Cook (1899), is founded on Projapyx stylifer Cook. Smith (1960) gave a distribution list of the then known world Projapygidae and Anajapygidae, together with a key to the families and genera. In Australia, two species are known; one from Queensland, and the other, an undescribed species, from Western Australia.

Australian members of this family are 2–3.5 mm in length; cerci are paired, short and multisegmented; the thorax has three pairs of spiracles, the abdomen seven pairs; and the antennae are long, moniliform and with trichobothria on segments 4–22.
